Shmellmopwho DCLB EXPO BUILD

Plasma cutter?
super jealous congrats on your wife not killing you I need to find me your kinda chick lol naw my chicks cool but I wouldn't have balls if I bought something like that

 

Haha yeah buddy!! I'm so excited for it to come and to get to start using it. I was at work today and I text my wife and asked to buy it and she was like " If you think you really need it go ahead" and of course I need it . Very cool of her!

 

Now I need suggestions for a good inexpensive air compressor to run it off of.

 

Harbor freight they got bad ass ones for pretty cheap depends on what you need

 

Yeah man they're definitely not bad. I know a dude who has had one for 8 years and it's still running well.

 

Yea man those things are beast haha and super cheap compared to home Depot or all those other places

 

Yep!

 

Ya it does suck. It takes for ever.

 

Damn dude awesome build thread. I finally got enough time to go through all 29 pages. did it at work so I got paid to do it! That trip down the Mojave trail and the one through Utah and Idaho looked pretty sweet. I need to get around to posting some of my trips that I've done to my thread. Great work with all the fabrication, let me know if you want to make one for my truck. Would rather pay you than 99% of these companies out there.
Also let me know when ever you go hit the trail I might be interested. Big Bear is like my second home during the summer months, gets pretty hot out here in the desert.

 

Hey what's up man. Thanks a lot I really appreciate it!! Haha that's the best getting paid while you're not doing much haha. Mojave Trail was dope and the 2 week camping wheeling trip that my wife and I did through the Midwest was the most epic trip I've ever had in my life!! Yeah man definitely post your trips. Everyone loves looking at pictures! And thanks man it's been a lot of fun making my own stuff. Yeah man lemme know what you want built and I can see what I can do. I'm super down in a couple months to get out and wheel. Got a one month old at home so I probably have to wait till she's a few months before I can get back out on the trails but I'm itching to get out haha. I love Big Bear so that would be cool!

 

Congrats on the little one! When my wife and I moved from NC to CA we decided to make a trip out of it and we traveled across the mid US. we had a blast, and a buddy of mine @adamv22 did a similar trip where he did the Trans America trail across the country. I couldn't really do the trails because I was towing a trailer but we def had a blast traveling. We are trying to plan a trip from SoCal to Anchorage and all through the mid west. planning on taking 2 different routes, but that's a 3-4 week trip. the stars are going to have to align correctly for all of us to get that much time off from work around the same time. As for the rear bumper I want a tube bumper with swing out tire carrier. I have pictures stuff of what I want I can PM them to you and see what you think.

 

Thanks bro! She's the best thing ever man!

Road trips are great bro! I loved just driving a checking out all the cool stuff along the way. That's a big long drive dude from NC to CA! I would love to do the transamerica trail one day man! That's a siiiick trip. Saw that on Jay Leno's garage. Heck yeah bro. Before we knew we were preggers we were planning a trip from here to Vancouver. But we ended up not being able to. Some day though! And cool I checked out your PM for that bumper and we could totally make that happen!

 

Dood your little girl is so cute I can't wait to meet her man haha shit I can't wait for little thing #2 to show up already I'm so anxious

 

Hahaha thanks bro! My wife caught that picture today while I was at work and she sent it to me and it made my day!!! I'm super stoked for you for your 2nd little one to pop out!!

 

What kind of plasma did you get? I use a 60 gallon u.s. General compressor from harbor freight and it runs my thermal dynamics cut master 50 with no problems at all. Make sure you get a good quality air dryer.

 

Hey man thanks for chiming in I appreciate it! I got a Klutch 375 from northern tool. I had never heard of the brand but I decided to pull the trigger on it cuz I read a ton of great reviews on it and it fit my budget. I'm really thinking I'm just gonna pick up the 30 Gallon husky compressor from Home Depot. It doesn't break the bank and it runs 5.1 cfm @ 90psi and the plasma needs 4.5 cfm @90 psi so I think it'll be fine. And which air dryer should I go with? Can I pick that up at Home Depot too?

 

The dryer I use I got from the local automotive paint supply store. It actually uses a roll of toilet paper as the element. I have never had any moisture related issues. I can't remember the brand but I think any dryer good enough for automotive painting should be more than enough.

 

Right on bro I appreciate the input! You da man! I'm probably gonna go get that stuff tomorrow so I can have the plasma cutter ready right when it comes in haha.

 

Your gonna love it!

 

Dude I used my friends a couple weeks ago and I was like ..... And then I said, "I gotta have one!" It was amazing haha. So stoked to have it!
